I'm so beyond excited. I just had a phone consult with my new RE and we are set to do our first IVF cycle in January 2018! I'm going to be doing my pre-cycle testing and ordering my medications when I get my December period (which I expect in 2 weeks). I'm wondering if anyone else is cycling around the same time? I'm a super planner so I'm so overjoyed that I finally get to start making real plans now.

Hi Bellami11, I have just started my first IVF cycle yesterday! My clinic retrieves eggs in the first cycle and transfers them in the second cycle. Not sure if this is the usual practice.. What has your RE suggested? would love some company for the cycle. have started with Gonal and Menopur injections and have come down with stuffy and runny nose since last night ...Lots of baby dust to everyone!

@ Sunshine,When i mentioned the runny nose to the Doctor, they had asked me to take any medicine i like (which my GP might prescribe/ what it take usually for a cold). i had half an anti-allergic (cetrizine) tablet, which thankfully helped. But i have had a stuffy nose throughout since Day 1. My retrieval is planned on Friday 12th (trigger injection on 10th night), so will speak to them before the retrieval since they plan to use general anasthesia for the retrieval.They could only see 5 follicles today instead of 8 (each of the 5 were 18mm).. i was reading some boards online where ladies had ovulated prematurely. Hope i don't ovulate before the retrieval! (though i am on Cetrotide) - the vanishing follicles created this doubt!

Hi ladies,So I got my retrieval results today. Out of 11 eggs, we got 9 grade 2 embryos which have been frozen today. Doc wasn’t pleased that there were no grade 1 embryos.Have to meet them in person later this week to figure out what happens next month! I have been googling furiously to understand if they thaw all embryos next month for culturing to blastocyst stage, can they refreeze them again? Any insights ladies?
